The rear brake lines have rusted all the way through. There is a recall for this particular vehicle. The manufacturer is aware of the problem, but informed the consumer that his VIN was not on the list. The brake lines on both side failed at the same time due to the routing of the lines along the frame. The consumer believes this system is poorly designed.
I came to a stop light and the car had just enough brakes to stop with, I pulled into a parking lot and notice the ground was wet on the left side of the car and looked under the car and found that the brake lines were leaking. I had the car towed to greens and shane mullins said the brake lines have rusted out I can not believe that brake lines would rust out in 7 years. Dt referenced in RQ03-004
